Unit 8 - FMP

Candidate Declaration - I confirm that the attached portfolio is all my own work* and does not include any work completed by anyone other than myself. Task 1 - Analysis: When it comes to elements of a short film, these five are some of the most essential aspects: - A Captivating Story, - Great Visuals, - Good Sound Design, - Strong Leading Characters, - Effective Editing. A Captivating Story is incredibly important in a short film as it's the main job for a story. It needs to be interesting to the point where the viewers are on the edge of their seats, they're constantly involved in thinking about what will happen, it needs to keep their attention. If a story is boring, the film will be boring it's quite simple. Great Visuals are very important in a short film as they tend to stand out from the rest of the different aspects. Like the story, the visuals need to be interesting and entertaining to it appeals to the audience. If the scene is shot badly and breaks the 180 degree...

Unit 6 - Feature Film / Project

Image
 My Media CV & Cover Letter: - For the feature film, I will be applying for the role of the Production Designer which is one of the main roles. I understand it is a huge responsibility and I am prepared to take it on - I have done a lot of research prior and already have an idea of how I would interpret the design of the scenes. As for a backup role, I am going to apply for the key editor role. I have a lot of experience with editing (editing for friends, music video project, editing in my free time) so I feel like I'd be a good fit for the role. If I were the main editor, I would constantly be on set monitoring the scenes to see where I could put it all together and the different things I could do. Production Designer Research: A Production Designer works closely with the art department and develops sets based on the script’s description of the setting. As part of the role, I will be identifying sets and styles to use that reflects the character’s personality (exp. If a charac...

Unit 7 - Studio Production

Image
3 Types of Studio Production:  Live (film and distributed live)   Live To Tape (live studio audience as well as being taped to distribute later for tv consumption)   Pre-Produced (filmed within a studio but it's not live, it's released later)  Task 1 - Analysis: Task 2 - Research: - Shot Types/Angles/Sizes: For the shot types we would need (medium shots, master shots, different types of crowd shots etc.) the master shot would be our fail safe, if we need anything that we haven’t got a close up for; it will have been captured by the master shot. The Close Ups/Medium shots will be used to capture dialogue (or conversation) between two characters, focusing in on one character as they speak. Then cutting to the next shot as the other character speaks their line (this will be done in editing after the show has been filmed). I have come to this conclusion from watching and analysing National Theatre Live performance clips on YouTube and figuring out that this was...

Let It Happen Music Video (Finished Product): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RPGB0rttKnk5nI1vCV4kyoZdMZ0xmuP9?usp=sharing Task 1 - Research: A music video is a piece of media that moves the artist(s) message through their songs onto a screen, presenting a visual representation that plays alongside the song itself. Having a music video encourages the audience to listen to the artists music, its used as a marketing tactic to promote the artist. For the majority of music videos, they usually contain specific characters and a story to tell, great visuals, themes that stands out/make the song iconic. The 6 key elements of a music video: Lyrics, Music, Genre, Camera Work, Editing, Narrative & Performance. Slow zoom ins/panning, one frame, slight shake when the narrative gets intense. Created emotion throughout. Performance MV - Typically the artist/band preforming with instruments to support them, this is a great resort for artists with a low budget. Usually on this production...
